The Wrestling Thread has much larger nipples

Yeah because Vince McMahon was running WWE.
And a Samoan played E Honda in the movie. So there's already precedent for them playing each other. Not a big deal to me. Just like JCVD playing an all American in most of his movies :shrug:

Anyway back to the actual wrestling, I got LA Knight and Chelsea winning their respective briefcases

I'm not sure that really makes it OK that it happened over thirty years ago.
 
Tonight's Smackdown line-up.

There is nothing stopping them from having Chelsea challenge for the WWE Women's title on a PLE even without the MITB being in play.
 
Legado vs. El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr., Pagano and Psycho Clown at World's Collide should be a lot of fun.

Yes, there is a wrestler named "El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr."
 
The Wyatt Sicks returning on Bray's birthday was a nice touch.
 
I have to admit, I don't get why Tiffany is so over as a babyface, to use her vernacular, her promos give snotty mean girl energy, like calling Alexa and Charlotte old, everything about her screams heel. Going straight from that opening promo into the MITB qualifier, with a little tease between Tiffany and Giulia got Smackdown under way, and it was a solid match, even though Charlotte dropped the bridge too soon on the finish and of course didn't take the pin. :eyeroll: I'm glad Giulia went over, that was at least the right call.

The men's MITB qualifier was also a decent match, I'd have preferred Black had won but not surprised Knight did, the only thing that was for certain was that Nakamura would eat the pin.

Truth did well with his promo, navigating the obnoxious What!? chants well and getting his point across. This is a nothing match at SNME but in truth I'll just be happy when this tedious Cena run is finished.

The friction with Jacob and Solo needs to come to a head, I'm guessing Jacob will qualify for MITB next week and it will be in that match where things boil over.

I was hoping when Candice LaRae showed up to help DIY that they might be positioning her to go after Zelina's US title, but by the end we found out she's been put with them to be fed to the gooftroop, after they spoiled a very good tag team championship main event.
 
Lucha Libre has an unusual naming process for luchadores. I mentioned earlier that there's a El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. Now regular wrestling naming process would have him be "Dr. Wagner III." There's also a wrestler named "Villano III Jr." Again, it's the unusual naming process for Luchadores, otherwise it would have been Villano IV. So there's probably going to be in the future "El Hijo de Villano III Jr" instead of Villano V
 
Alexa should always have the mic
You can make a case that she’s the best female talker of All-Time… Unfortunately she hasn’t had enough time to have a lot of memorable promos, the large majority of them haven’t… Becky probably wins out just based on time and opportunity alone…

Agreed. And I'd put Becky 3rd currently behind Alexa and Zelina. This is also why I want an Alexa vs Zelina feud. Zelina is probably the only one who can go back and forth with her without getting destroyed. Plus I think the match would be good.

All time I'd have to think about it, but AJ Lee, Alexa, Becky, and Zelina I feel certain would be in the top 10. Alexa near the very top if not one.

Yeah, I realized it last night watching her, I just don’t like Tiffany Stratton… She’s just not that good to me… I understand she’s over and with HHH that might matter more than anything but honestly she could use more time in NXT… I know most won’t agree but I think Roxanne does too… In that triple threat the other night she was lost for a good portion of the match, Becky had to keep reminding her where to be, made Becky look silly because she had to keep saying “Roxy, Roxy” and nodding her to the position she was supposed to be at… They’re both super green still but they are both fan favorites so I guess they’ll have to learn on the job… Guila is much further along than both of them, much better in the ring… Her only downfall is mic skills but she has an aura about her…

Starting to get alittle nervous with Aleister, leaving him laying in that last encounter with Miz/Melo wasn’t a good look for a new guy (though not crippling) and now not advancing to MITB.. It hasn’t been bad by any means, they’re still protecting him to a point but they’re not really building him up either… He needs a good storyline or fued soon if they’re going to get the crowd behind him… His crowd response is positive but tepid right now, I feel like they want to cheer him but he hasn’t been given anything meaty enough yet… Still early though…

Not a great card tonight, interested to see what happens with Sami… Whether they pull the trigger or not remains to be seen but there are some signs he might turn on Punk…
 
Didn't Stephanie Vaquer also have to yell at Roxanne to stay on her knees during that one Devil's Kiss because she was sandbagging her on the move, basically?

WWE cutting live events is not a good thing for young talent like Roxanne because you need them to get that experience with more reps.

A lot of people want her back in the WWE. Punk has been asked about it and says it's up to her. If she's not back by Evolution 2.0, the only thing I can see is her signing a legends deal with WWE so that she can appear in a future WWE video game and have a WWE action figure made.

I rank returning legends at Evolution 2 as:

  1. Trish Stratus
  2. Lita
  3. Molly Holly (she works backstage)
  4. Michelle McCool
  5. Mickie James
  6. Nikki and Brie Bella
  7. Victoria (has a Legends deal)
  8. AJ Lee
 
Full SNME line-up, ive got Uso, Zelina, Cena, Priest and Seth & Bron, the big question is will Sami turn on Punk? 🤔

My predictions are almost the same. Difference is I'm going with Drew here. Could be a good way to give a banged to Priest some time off, and move Drew in a new direction. I'm thinking Cody. I do think Drew and Priest could be a show stealer.

Apparently Drew is banged up as well from that South of Heaven off the cases at Backlash, he can't move his neck all the way to the left, so I was thinking Priest could get a win without Drew taking a pin, but I guess both are banged up.

I like Tiffy but it may have been too early to put the belt on her. Especially with the US title introduced. However I'd rather they try with people a little early rather than too late. Let them sink or swim. She might be treading water at v times but she certainly isn't sinking imo.

I can see that point of view… I don’t care for her in general but she’s OK…

Bronson Reed… meh…
